Found - the best hotel ever



Aunty Jo Jo loves FCC Angkor!

I have just returned from Siem Reap after having one of the best vacations ever - and it's thanks to a little gem of a hotel named FCC Angkor. It is the best hotel I have ever experienced. As a hardened road warrior, I've had my fair share of business hotels, Four Seasons, heritage hotels so this is endorsement is not handed out lightly.

What was so special about this boutique hotel? Well, how about...
  • Soriya, my ever-smiling hostess, who planned every last detail and anticipated every move during the stay
  • Rithy, an affable and hunky driver who loves football and women (in that order)
  • service staff who are pleasant, efficient and unintrusive
  • beautiful grounds set in the old French quarter
  • freshly prepared breakfast of the highest quality e.g. freshly-squeezed orange juice, French pastries with lemon curd, scrambled eggs & smoked bacon on French toast, fruit salad, Vietnamese pho
  • superb meals that other tourists come in to enjoy...the dragonfruit pannacotta is to die for!
  • fantastic fruit juices, wines and beer at half price during Happy Hours
  • lemongrass-scented bedrooms
  • custom-made soaps and bath gels
  • a luxurious spa on-site
Most of all, it's the fact that I really didn't want to leave and have every intention of going back...SOON!
